This doesn't actually describe the behaviour. I'd suggest:

Description: Pluggable Authentication Module for LDAP
 This package provides an interface between an LDAP server and the PAM
 user authentication system. Using it along with libnss-ldap allows
 LDAP to entirely replace other lookup methods (such as NIS or
 flat-file) for system account tables.
